Company Details
Name: Adobe Systems, Inc, Sector: Desktop Publishing
Description Adobe Systems was founded in 1982 by Charles Geschke and John Warnock to develop PostScript, the device-independent programming language between PC and printer that could describe text, graphics and images on one page. PostScript, together with the Apple Macintosh graphical user interface and laser printers, began the desktop publishing revolution that has evolved into modern graphic arts, printing and publishing -- today's high-fidelity communications. Adobe provides software to create, manage, and deliver high-impact reliable digital content to consumers, creative professionals and enterprises. Almost every image we see -- on the web, on video screens, or translated to print -- has been touched by Adobe software.

Aldus
Company Details
Name: Aldus Sector: Desktop Publishing
Description Aldus Corporation was founded in 1984 by Paul Brainerd with the idea of creating a microcomputer-based newspaper pagination system. Instead, the product turned out to be Pagemaker software for Apple Macintosh users to combine text and graphics in page layouts; this was the "killer app" that took advantage of the Mac's graphical user interface, Adobe PostScript's printing capabilities and the Apple LaserWriter printer. When these products came together in 1985, the desktop publishing revolution was launched. Aldus went on to develop many successful software products used by business and creative professionals to communicate information and ideas before the company was acquired by Adobe in 1994.
